| Subject: Media, under attack from Trump, needs to return to the fundamentals Sun Feb 19, 2017 5:10 pm | |
| President Trump, drowning amid the chaos roiling his White House after just a month on the job, made a grab for his most-familiar life raft this past week: the media.
Or, to put it more bluntly: Trump, backed into a corner by allegations of aides’ contacts with Russian intelligence officials, turned his full rhetorical firepower on the media — blasting the journalists who cover him as fundamentally dishonest, corrupt and an “enemy of the American People.”
Trump’s strategy is simple: change the conversation from a losing one (why are there so many unanswered questions about his ties to Russia?) to a winning one (the media is terrible and out to get me).
